But I came across her name online and was curious to learn more about her and her ministry. After just a few minutes of surfing her site, Lifeway, it became very clear to me that she has affected the lives of perhaps millions of people worldwide with her ministry, her writing, and her charitable works. However, what impressed me above all was her Living Proof Ministries Blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Beth Moore blog struck me on a number of levels. First of all, it was fascinating to read about her recent trip to the Holy Land with her daughter, Melissa. As a Christian myself, I can not even comprehend what it must be like to witness first hand the sites and places where Jesus Christ himself lived, walked, and died. If you have not seen her slide show, it is definitely worth 11 minutes of your time. Very impressive indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps more impressive however, at least in my mind, is the fact that the Living Proof Ministries blog is the work of not only Beth, but also her daughters Melissa and Amanda. In this world where the word "family" seems to have less and less meaning to more and more people, it is so refreshing to see the incredible bonds that are clearly present within her immediate and extended family. Through their posts, one can literally hear and feel the love, unity, and passion that they have for each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll definitely be logging in to the Beth Moore blog, Living Proof Ministries, on a regular basis and "yes", Beth has earned herself another fan. I commend you not only on your ministry work, but even more so for the fantastic accomplishment of your family bonds! You truly are a role model for all of us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6364488779523253743-491331796322488021?l=checkthefile1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://checkthefile1.blogspot.com/feeds/491331796322488021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://checkthefile1.blogspot.com/2010/07/beth-moores-blog-i-have-to-be-honest.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6364488779523253743/posts/default/491331796322488021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6364488779523253743/posts/default/491331796322488021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://checkthefile1.blogspot.com/2010/07/beth-moores-blog-i-have-to-be-honest.html' title=''/><author><name>Lisa Speciale</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17928373958123480871</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364488779523253743.post-3633734495041373061</id><published>2010-07-05T10:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-05T10:39:18.410-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Chicago Fashion School added the hit as name multicultural population known country with its dramatic architecture and love for the arts.
